HOSE-SUPPORTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 27, 1906.

Application filed June 9, 1905- Serial No. 264,379-

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, VICTOR GUINZBURG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to hosesupporters comprising a belt and depending straps therefrom which are connected with the hose. Where the belt is required to produce a V- shaped effect in front, as in the present fashion, it is advantageous to form the belt in two parts and to secure these together at a bias or angle. It is necessary that these two ends should be securely fastened together and that the hose-supporting straps depending therefrom should be made very strong and secure .the belt portion 11 or 12.

to withstand the considerable strains brought upon them. My invention provides a simple and efficient means to these ends.

Figure 1 represents so much of a hose-supporter as is necessary to show my invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the line 2 2,

I designates a belt comprised of two parts 11 and 12, which may be united by a buckle 13 in the usual manner. The ends 14 15 of the parts 1 1 12, respectively, are cut at an angle, as shown in Fig. 1, and to each of these is secured one of the two hosesupporter straps 21 22, the upper edge of the strap being coincident with the cut diagonal edge of The end of the belt 11 is then stitched to the upper end of the strap 21, and the end of the belt portion 12 is stitched to the strap 22 by lines of stitching which run entirely round their overlapped portions. The end edges 14 and 15 of the belt portions 11 and 12 are then brought together and secured by staples 31 32, placed adjacent their upper and lower corners. The parts 11 and 12 are still further united and secured together by a line of bar-stitching 4, which passes through both thicknesses 11 21 and 12 22, respectively, and joins all four of these parts together. These stitches act to draw the parts very closely together, so that in practice no line of demarcation is visible. Transverse lines of bar-stitching 41 42 are then made to cover and practically hide from view the staples 31 32.

It is of course understood that the depending straps 21 22 are provided at their lower ends with hose-supporter loops or other engaging devices and that they may be bifurcated as desired for the more perfect support of the hose.

Without specifying materials or enumerating equivalents, what I claim is- A hose-supporter comprising a belt formed in two arts having diagonally-cut ends secured c osely together by means of a plurality of thin separated staples and by stitching which covers the staples, and hose-supporting straps each crossing the belt adjacent the staples and being stitched securely thereto,

substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
